Starring Dorothy Lamour, Eddie Bracken, Gil Lamb, Barry Sullivan, Forrest Orr, Anne Revere,
Olga San Juan
Directed by Ralph Murphy
Print: color
Runtime: 98 min.
Genre: musical
Print Quality: B
Rainbow Island is a lavish Technicolor confection designed to show off the physical
attributes of star Dorothy Lamour. This time Lamour is a white girl raised as native on a
tropical isle. Barry Sullivan, Eddie Bracken and Gil Lamb play merchant-marine sailors
hiding from Japanese troops on Lamour's island. The storyline may have had dramatic
inclinations, but these are forgotten amidst several seductive musical numbers and
numerous shots of Dorothy swaying in her patented sarong. Perhaps aware that no one
could have taken this film seriously, Ms. Lamour plays her role for laughs, and gets them.
Rainbow Island was based on a story by silent screen star Seena Owen, the "Dorothy
Lamour" of her time.
